Full-time Psychologist WANTED!

Accepting applications until August 5, 2010


Background


The Negros Oriental Children’s Advocacy Network (ONCAN) was incorporated in July 2007 and is based in Dumaguete. The network currently comprises 30 Members, all of whom are NGO’s or LGU’s working to assist and protect at-risk children, and in particular to raise community awareness of children’s rights and child protection legislation.


The child beneficiaries include street kids, orphans, abused children, juvenile delinquents, displaced children, indigents, disabled children, and children from cultural minorities.


The assistance and services provided by network Members include legal and living services, educational programs, and community education.


ONCAN is an umbrella NGO that plans, facilitates and co-ordinates a wide range of inter Member resource sharing opportunities, trainings, and income generating activities.


During a 2009 survey of our organization’s greatest needs it was concluded that a child psychologist remained the largest resource gap among all Members. Currently none of our organizations have access to a child psychologist and only one uses psychiatric services, which are based in Bacolod, 9 hours away.



Overview


The overall aim of this service is to provide psychological help to ONCAN Member’s clients, often these clients will have had traumatic experience, live in stressful environments, and/or experience harsh living situations.


The Psychologist will be ONCAN’s first shared paid resource. The successful applicant will be based at Little Children of the Philippines (LCP) based in Daro, Dumaguete City.

3. Staff trainings and information sessions: One session per month, topics to be determined.


4.
